I've never understood why some people get so angry when a song they like gets sampled? I'm overjoyed when a song I love gets sampled, tbh.

 

Because a lot of the time these artists are lazily using something from other people's work to be the only interesting thing about their mess of a song.

 

It's not always the case though, but a lot of the time it is, especially recently. I'm not speaking of this particular example as I've yet to hear it...

It depends on how badly the sample has been butchered. For eg; 'Kids' by MGMT is excellent. 'The Opposite Of Adults' by Chiddy Bang is rubbish.

 

A lot of Puff Daddy tracks from the 90s used to irritate me. Sample a well known song (usually by a British artist - see David Bowie, The Police, etc...) then slow it down quite a bit and rap over the top of it. :manson: About as genius as a fart. :(

Nope, March 6th apparantly.

Bottoms Up top 100 really hope this does well such a tune :)
Is that the song with MR Trey Songz? I love that song, seems like it was out ages ago though, just not over it until now of course

 

Why is Bottoms Up climbing all of a sudden though ? His album has been out for months.. & It is actually probably one of my least favourite tracks from it

The Video is getting airplay on the Music Channels now. :)

You did it Monsters! Born This Way is #1 in 14 countries + were #1 again on Hot 100! Thank you for believing! Video Monday 28th 11am Est.

Video Monday! :cheer:

 

:kink:

Oh and isn't this the 4th run at #1 on iTunes for Price Tag? It had its initial run then it got overtaken by Champion, then it went back to #1, then it was overtaken by Born This Way, then it went back to #1, then it was overtaken by Someone Like You, now it's back at #1 yet again.
It seems like people can't get enough of it still, I actually started to really love it the more I hear it, a couple of weeks ago I thought it was just alright, I'm not sure if I want it to return back to#1 now though, I thought it was a shame it stopped Champion from going to #1, I would of liked that to got a week then Price Tag to return bk or Adele, I'm not bothered about Lady Gaga getting to #1 with BTW as it's not her best release.

 

Opposite of Adults and Check It Out are both incredible songs imo. I really, really love them tbh. I don't think the sampling in them is cheap, tacky, or whatever at all. Yes, they're extremely obvious samples, but I don't think they're intending to disguise the fact that they're sampling in the first place.

 

The only issue with sampling for me is that sometimes it takes a lot of getting used to. If you know a song really well, and then it gets sampled, you're still thinking of the original song when you hear the sample, so it can be very strange at first. But those songs nearly always grow on me in the end. :)

Lupe flopping horrifically!

 

Definitely NOT deserved! :drama: Really hope 'Words I Never Said' with Skylar Grey is big when/if it's released here. It deserves to be!

They are, I do love 'Check It Out' but it is pretty much the prime definition of tacky and I consider it one of my ultimate guilty pleasures. As for that butchering of MGMT we're mentioning, just urgh! :puke2:

Oh. :( I love them both. Brilliant songs imo! :lol: I guess we can't all agree. Maybe they both missed top 10 for a reason. :lol:

And they call it Flop This Way! :rofl:

Best move to release it on Monday! She will have the effect whole week instead of releasing it on Thursday etc. Fingers crossed she will be number 1!

 

11. Singing In the Rain / Umbrella (feat. Gwyneth Paltrow) [Glee Cast Version] - Glee Cast

26. Forget You (Glee Cast Version) [feat. Gwyneth Paltrow] - Glee Cast

52. Forget You (Glee Cast Version) [feat. Gwyneth Paltrow] - Glee Cast

 

Gwyneth was amazing! Watched the whole episode just to see her crying WHY! :lol:

Jessie is back at number 1 :D (Still behind combined though - obviously) but I'm glad to see she'll have longevity! :D
It seems like people can't get enough of it still

 

Re 'Price Tag'.

 

Only *some* people... ;)

ISTM another victim of market saturation, perhaps?

Don't get too excited though, JJ fans - she's still trailing Adele by 3-2 when combined.

 

Also, her lead over the market in general is diminishing.

 

iTunes Update

 

[15] 15| Taio Cruz ft. Kylie Minogue & Travie McCoy - Higher

 

Straying well off topic - have you seen the new Kylie Lexus advert?

She doesn't appear until nearly 30 seconds in, though.

Claire is 25 now.

 

Impressed how she's holding up :) OK so it's not setting the charts on fire, but it was never going to really.

BTW, Ain't Nobody also re-entered at #176 this week. :)

Officially? Do you mean last week?
